The effectiveness of the brakes is an
important factor for traffic safety.
To improve effectiveness, do not brake
unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles
(200 km) after new brake pads have been
fitted.
Brake pad wear must not exceed a
specified limit. Regular maintenance as
detailed in the Service Booklet is therefore
of the utmost importance for traffic safety.
Have worn brake pads replaced.
We recommend that you consult your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will fit
pads that have been tested and approved
by Vauxhall and guarantee optimum
braking power.
Brake pads worn to their minimum
thickness generate a grinding noise.
Continued driving is possible. Have the
brake pads replaced as soon as possible
by a workshop. We recommend your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
